Youve paid 'almost' that much for 3 inferior CBs so its not really that much of a stretch
And we've still not paid £50m for a CB.

Honestly, you can all have a go at City without making stuff up.

Say we're not afraid of spending big money on shit CB's and I don't have much of a defence.

But say we're not afraid of spending £50m on CB's when we've never done it and I'll have to point out some truths.

So much bullshit being spouted here the last few days, and I don't understand why.

Don't buy all this talk about Ox leaving, unless we get a crazy offer like 30 million for him I don't think he's going anywhere, has become an important part of the first team in the last month or so since we switched formations and we are reportedly in contract negotiations with him.

I hope these Bakayoko rumours aren't true. Hardly an upgrade on Matic. Don't see how he fixes any of our problems in midfield
I'd be quite keen on Bayakoko, still very young with huge potential. Imagine Monaco would be wanting big $$$ though which is hard to justify unless he comes straight into the starting XI

Calm down. I wasnt having a go.

I didnt think it was a stretch to suggest that you'd pay what Soton wants for a CB who i think is much better than 3 other similar priced one you have brought.

Whats the go with the over sensitivity these days to anything related to the wealth of your club and how much you guys can spend?

I don't have any sensitivity about the wealth of the club or how much we can spend.

We are wealthy. We can spend a lot.

My sensitivity is about people saying stuff about the club that isnt true. As I said, if you said we're not afraid of spending big money on shit CB's I probably wouldnt give it a second thought.

But if you say we're not afraid of spending £50m.on a CB when we've never done it why shouldnt I point out your mistake?

This last few days it seems to have happened an awful lot. I'm guessing it's the off season and people have nothing better to do. But I'm looking at a lot of posts made on here and thinking wtf are you talking about?

Am I missing something here or did you not sign John Stones for £47.5m? Does the £2.5m really matter?

For the sake of the argument it's basically £50m, you don't see United fans getting upset when people say Pogba cost £90m when it was only £89m.

I'd say it's part baiting, part hyperbole
